What if work from home is default forever?

Could this be a possibility? Working from home or anywhere will be the defacto mode for all employment. Human interaction becomes lesser, going out for meetings or lunches becomes rare, web meetings becomes more packed, etc.  Is productivity better? Let's not dwell into work.  Will WFH helps Earth? Helps in pollution? Helps in less food wastage? Helps in lesser crimes?  There is so many what ifs but did we really put thoughts into matters that impact the humans.   What if the vaccination is only effective for covid19? What if it is not? What if pandemic is here to stay? How prepared are we? Is this a sign of something more dangerous to come? Did we really tried to save our planet or is it too late? What if we can travel back? What if the pandemic is really to clear the human race for sustainable living of the greater good? And everything starts from WFH. 

Week 2 of Heightened Alert

The situation doesn't seem to be curb. Instead,  it is spreading from Changi ) supposed to be the biggest cluster)  to wild wild West, heard JEM and West Gate took over at the leading cluster.  I was at a park this morning and the crowd is ridiculous. Do you really need to pack and eat at there ? Can't you have your meal at home ? Still the same,  Wash your hands,  wear your mask and stopped eating outside at public areas.  Stay safe. Stay Healthy and stay home. 

CB 1.5 or We called it Phase 2 (Heightened Alert)

Singapore went thru our next wave of Covid19 infections. Our of nowhere,  asymptomatic and infected cases appeared from Changi Airport, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and spreading like wildfire in the east. Children gotten infected at schools.  Our government made a swift decision to restrict social gathering to 2. No dine in.  PHASE 2 (Heightened Alert) kicked in 16 May till 13 Jun 2021. Home based learning became another reality on 19 May.  I kind of quite like this Circuit Breaker 1.5.  Not going back office though I am more busy then back in office. However, I gotten time to at least workout every morning.  The only thing I missed is... hmm, maybe meals with frens and families. But I can live with it. Welcome to new normal or have we already set in.  Don't expect covid19 to be eradicated. Get vaccinated and treat it like a flu soon. 

Arm sore after 2nd Jab

The best present I gave to myself today. The 2nd dose of covid19 vaccination. Moderna.  Early morning 8am Queue. 843am discharged.  By afternoon, booked a hotel to fully enjoy the rest.  Arm is totally sore at this point in writing. Hopefully it gets better.  But I heard Day 2 is the worst. Pray.  Closer to fighting the pandemic. Hope India and poorer countries get their dosage soon. 

Languishing - the blah term

https://www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/well/mind/covid-mental-health-languishing.amp.html " Languishing is a sense of stagnation and emptiness. It feels as if you’re muddling through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield." This is really what I have been experiencing for the longest time since covid19 circuit breaker started. Nearing the edge of depression but not yet. Mood-less, target-less, laziness, zero motivation... not focus and just living by the day.  NOTHING can keep me motivated.  Even the drive becomes drive-less (not EV)... $$$ doesn't seem to move me... maybe a million dollars does so that I don't need to work and really daze all day.  To be back of track is to have a 'target' to look forward too. I can't even be bothered with setting a target now. What shit! Am I really heading for depression soon? Will even a sane mind wrote about this blog? Does keeping myself busy help? Being busy def...

Vaccination the in-thing in Singapore

Covid19 vaccination as the buzztalk since the start of year.  Last Wed 14 Apr 2021 I had my first dose of Moderna vaccine. Kudos to SG system, registration, injection, waiting area and discharge process was seamless.  Not much symptoms appear on Day 1, just the pain on the injected arm. Day 2 and Day 3 looks OK. Day 4 as in yesterday, not sure if it is the rain, the tiredness and headache kicks in and still lingering till now.  There was a debate on Pfizer or Moderna between our extended families and frens, e.g. 3 weeks vs 4 weeks waiting time, efficacy rate, side effects, etc.   I couldn't be bothered. I booked the earliest and convenient dates and place.  We should be grateful that we have accessed to this vaccine earlier and faster than many countries. That's human nature I guessed. If there is only 1 vaccine, there's is no choice.   We are really spoilt by choice even in getting vaccinated.
